I transfered to Joel Berchin at 35 weeks on a monday and delivered via c section on wed. I was a home birth person with a wonderful midwife, Marla hicks. Although Marla was the most wonderful midwife there is, I was unable to deliver at home due to high blood pressure.
Joel is personal family friends with both my mother and my older sister and delivered all four of my sisters kids as well as my 18 year old younger sister.
He did a wonderful job. My scar is actually beautiful and well done. I would never wish a c section on anyone but dr berchin tried to give me the natural bradley birth that I wanted and only did a c sec because it was medically necessary to keep me from having a stroke.
I would highly recommend either Marls Hicks, as a home birth midwife, or Dr Berchin as I believe that together, through both of their expertise, they not only saved my life but that of my daughter.
No one had anything to prove but only had my and my daughters best interest at heart and wanted me to have a successful and safe birth.
